Fine when im driving i turn car off leave for a bit go back start it and i get white smoke from exhaust. Driver side rocker is leaking can the smoke be caused by this?

 

do a compression test on the valves to see if any are low. hopefully not a cracked head or anything as serious. does the engine temp run high or does cold air come through the vents when you turn the heat up?

 

Temps are fine hot and cold air work as they should

 

Could this be the turbo?

 

Are you getting any noise from the turbo??

 

Yeah still hits boost but seems slower theres oil in intake pipe and intercooler pipes

 

You'll get a bit of oil in the cooler especeially if the oil level was a bit high as the breather goes into the resonator.
If the car is feeling a bit lacking it could be the turbine wheel on the turbo getting worn?? (im quoting what Ive just been told about mine)
Check your lambda sensor too.
You didnt say whether you turbo is noisey.....

 

How do u mean noisy? still spools up can really tell with the exhaust lol. So its looking like the turbo what turbo is in a 98 sti? Do u have to put the same back in?

 

right, is anyone near st helens that can confirm thats its defo the turbo as i need the car back running 100% asap need to start looking for a turbo

 

Anyone

 

Nowhere near you bud - If the Turbo is making too much whistle or your getting any kind of oscillating sound is what I mean chap.
Only about £200 posted there and back to get it reworked so could be worth it to get the pzing back to the car.

 

Whos done the work for you? I dobt think im getting any odd noise from turbo just i use the car everday so thats why i need it asap. Thanks for help by the way

3 day turn around and did a proper job for me and my mates blowers.

Did you check the lambda sensor yet???

 

No but ill check it now what am i looking for?

 

Just check that its intact on the sensor part itself and then check the voltage across it at the pins. There are a few threads on hear about what the volage / resistance etc should be.
